Children's eye exams
An eye exam your child can follow
A parent stays beside the child, and the doctor explains each step in plain words, so nothing is a surprise.
Children often don't know when they see poorly, because it is how they have always seen. A regular exam is how we find out.
What to bring
Your child's glasses, if they wear them
A list of any medicines they take
Your insurance cards
A favorite book or toy for the waiting room
What happens at the visit

Questions we hear
When should my child have a first exam?
Many families start around age 3 and again before kindergarten. If you or the school notice squinting, headaches or trouble reading, call us sooner.
Can a child have an exam before they can read?
Yes. We use pictures and shapes, and the doctor adjusts each step to your child.
Do you fit children for glasses?
Yes. We help your child pick a pair they like, and fit them so they stay put.
